It's a standard in fortress design. The lever to flood the fortress with magma always goes next to the one for opening the drawbridge or something else commonly used. Of course, dorfs aren't known for labeling things.

Do you want to be defeated by the Hero or Heroine? Because that's how you get defeated by the Hero or Heroine!

This kind of nonsense can easily be corrected by reading (and adhering to) proper building codes, the ISO 90000 labeling requirements, and the Evil Overlord list.

Dwarf Fortress is a game where you manage titular Dwarf Fortress, making sure your dwarves have alcohol and food (in this order of importance), and lead happy and productive lives. Your reign is punctuated by goblin invasions, megafauna attacks, murderous carps, creation of abominable sanity-stealing relics, murderous rampages of sad dwarves, breeding merfolk to harvest their bones, cpu-melting catsplosions, building lava powered forges, building automated self-resetting lava traps, lava powered defenses, lava powered computers, lava powered defenses controlled by lava powered computers... Finally, if you dig too deep, you can be conquered by hell, or you can conquer hell, if you are Dwarf enough.

But most importantly, the lava-powered "fuck it all"/self destruct/FUN lever, that almost inevitably gets pulled by "accident".

Update: mining out random areasOh god my miner did something and there's water everywhere outside my fortress! If I don't do anything, the fortress will be flooded!Obviously I must evaporate the water with lava before it gets inside *pulls lever*
